My business partner Tim Schumacher asked for my opinion on Prerender.io®. io. I told him it would be dead in two months. Four years later, it generates millions in revenue. I was completely wrong. My logic: - SEO rendering was a solved problem. - Google would kill this niche instantly. - Nobody needed this specific solution. My tech knowledge told me this was doomed. The market told a different story. PreRender became one of our most profitable companies. - Huge enterprise customers. - Incredibly loyal user base. - We just hired a top-tier general manager. Here's what I missed: - Friends don't have full context. - External observers never see the complete niche. - Technical correctness doesn't predict market success. I saw the forest. Tim saw the trees. The trees made millions. The smallest niches can become the biggest businesses. What looks narrow from the outside can be deep enough to swim in. Revenue is the only validation that matters. If you're building something and earning your first dollars: Don't listen to friends, advisors, or experts who think they know better. Take their feedback, but take it with a grain of salt. They don't see what you see or talk to your customers daily. Instead: - Bootstrap and keep building. - Consult on the side if you need money. - Spend every spare hour on your thing. The person closest to the problem usually sees the solution clearest. Even when everyone else thinks they're wrong. I was the “smart one” who knew better. Not the founder who kept building this profitable company with loyal customers. The founder was right.
